Is there HDMI in? How well does it work as a secondary monitor for a Windows 8 (touchscreen) computer?

HDMI in + VGA in (2 inputs); Screen works well with Windows 8 - 2 touch only if that matters for you. Keyboard and audio will switch based on the "source" as well. So if you are using a keyboard, plug it into the AOC, not the Windows PC. This way it will switch between android and Windows8. Same for Audio - connect the PC with HDMI cable and select HDMI audio, than connect your speakers to the AOC and sound will switch between Android and Windows. You can use the build in speakers too.

my machine has one HDMI port. the machine came with windows 8, but video was jumpy. So i got rid of windows 8 and installed windows 7. Video works perfectly (from my HDMI to my TV).

Yes, I use the HDMI port to add a 2nd monitor so I can use the dual monitor feature of Windows.

Unless you have some software i don't know about it probably won't work as a touchscreen. it should work fine as either a duplicate monitor (laptop and monitor showing the same) or as a "extended monitor" display, which was how i was using it with Windows 7. Does that answer your question?

That is exactly how I'm using it. The HDMI is plugged into my Dell laptop, and it is connected to a VGA older monitor so I can have a second screen. It works like a charm!

I purchased the unit without a monitor. I have a 26 inch led monitor which works fine. If I had to purchase a new monitor I would go with a Touch Screen since windows eight has that capability.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

When you go to DEVICES in Windows 8 it shows connection for 2nd screen if connected. I have not done this but assume you would go one on VGA and the other on HDMI. I ASSume it should work that way.

Yes there is a VGA port on the back for a standard monitor. NOT HDMI. There is a PCIe slot inside that you can plug an additional video card if you buy a seperate one.

No HDMI port, but you should be able to find an adapter that will allow you to go from either VGA or USB to HDMI

An hdmi cable comes with the monitor. It works great. My hp obly had a mini display port so I had to buy an adapter. But you should be fine.

I'm use one of my Plugables on a laptop on via the USB port. I am not familiar the mini HDMI port. It is working well as the primary monitor.

The monitor will work but not as a touch monitor since only windows 8 has touch capabilities. Otherwise I really like the quality of the monitor.

How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

Yes its good, plan on using hdmi only though. There may be better choices out there for the price now that this monitor is about 6-8 months old

I have this monitor but with Windows 8. The touchscreen works flawlessly, and the picture is great.
